Technical characteristics of Lada Priora: Sedan, Hatchback, Station Wagon

For those who are interested in purchasing a Lada Priora station wagon, the technical characteristics of the body, engine and suspension are equally important. "Lada Priora" is the direct heir and successor of the flagship family of VAZ 2110 models of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. Several hundred changes were made to the design of the car, so the VAZ-2170, VAZ-2171 and VAZ-2172 models (sedan, station wagon and hatchback, respectively) are considered to be a separate family. The first sedans went on sale in 2007, and station wagons in 2009. The Lada Priora station wagon is the most practical and spacious car in the family. At the end of 2015, AvtoVAZ stopped producing and accepting orders for this model.

Vehicle powertrain

Three engine options are available:

• 8-valve VAZ-2116 engine with a power of 90 horsepower;
• 16-valve VAZ-21126 engine with a power of 98 horsepower. The station wagon modification with engine 21126 (factory designation VAZ 217130) is the most affordable on the secondary market;
• The 16-valve VAZ-21127 engine, which produces 106 horsepower, wins in terms of efficiency and reliability.

The base engine of the Lada Priora 2171 model is a gasoline, four-stroke, four-cylinder (cylinders are arranged in a row) 16-valve VAZ-21127 engine with distributed injection. This engine appeared after the VAZ-21126 engine was modified to improve the intake system. On the VAZ 21127, instead of one mass air flow sensor, two are installed: absolute pressure and air temperature. This made it possible to get rid of the known problem of the previous model - fluctuations in the crankshaft speed at low speeds.

The volume of this engine is 1596 cubic cm, the diameter of each of the four cylinders is 82 mm, the piston stroke is 75.6 mm, the compression ratio is 11. The octane number of gasoline used is 95. This engine develops power up to 106 horsepower at crankshaft rotation speed 5800 rpm, and its maximum torque is 148 Nm at 4200 rpm. It is obvious that the characteristics of the VAZ Priora with the 21127 engine are 8 horsepower and 3 Nm higher than those of a car of the same brand with the 21126 engine.

The maximum speed of the Priora station wagon with engine 21127 is 183 km/h, acceleration to hundreds is possible in 11.5 seconds with a total weight of 1578 kg. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 6.8 liters per 100 km, and on the highway fuel consumption is 5.4 liters per 100 km. The fuel tank holds 43 liters of fuel. The manufacturer claims an engine life of 200 thousand km.

Detailed characteristics of the LADA Priora Universal in numbers, among the most important ones that people most often pay attention to are the price in rubles at the time of appearance in car dealerships and fuel consumption in various conditions: city highway or mixed, as well as the total and curb weight. Also important are the dimensions and volume of the trunk, ground clearance, maximum speed, acceleration to 100 km in seconds or the time spent covering 402 meters. Gearbox automatic, manual; rear-wheel drive, front or all-wheel drive, or maybe even switchable

With such an engine capacity of 1596 cubic meters, a decent number of horses under the hood is ensured, although the consumption will not be very high.

A drive that requires special driving skills and getting used to in the case of driving with a different type of drive. For such a low price, cars are considered budget cars since you just get a car to drive and nothing more, but in some cases this is the only purpose without any beauty. You don't need more to get around the city. Perhaps the slogan for such a vehicle is not “The miser pays twice.”

Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of Lada Priora 2170

Body

The body's resistance to corrosion is weak; rust can already be found on two-year-old cars. The paintwork is thin, chips form quickly and literally immediately turn yellow.

Salon

The interior begins to squeak from the first kilometers and over time the squeaks only intensify. There is no sound insulation here, the front seats are uncomfortable, and the back is quite cramped.

But the main headache is the electrics. Anything breaks here, anytime. Moreover, repairs do not guarantee that the same thing will not fail again the next day.

Engine

There were four 1.6-liter power units, but their main problems were generally similar:

• failure of sensors, and on new engines and electronic throttle
• breakage of the timing belt due to old age, a wedge of one of its rollers or a water pump
• sticking of the thermostat, followed by engine overheating and gasket breakdown
• oil leaks causing it to get into the spark plug wells and fogging of the ventilation breather

Transmission

The original mechanics of the VAZ 2170 are essentially a slightly strengthened version of the Lada 110 gearbox and are famous for unclear switching, release noise and weak synchronizers.

The new manual transmission VAZ 2180 with cable drive is more reliable and more pleasant to use. The VAZ 2182 robot has received mixed reviews, read about it in a separate article.

Suspension

The suspension is the car's strong point and is ideal for our roads. Reliability is quite good; the first things to be replaced here are steering ends and wheel bearings. Next, the ball joints and support bearings of the struts fail, but they are inexpensive.

The brakes are quite normal, but the original pads need to be replaced as soon as possible. The first years of production there were a lot of problems with a defective electric power steering.

Overall dimensions of Priora | PrioraPRO

Lada Priora cars are designed specifically for dynamic and fast-paced city roads. Their appearance is distinguished by its composure, versatility and agility. The overall dimensions of the Priora emphasize its individuality - each model, be it a hatchback, sedan or station wagon, has its own dimensions:

- a hatchback by nature, the car is more youthful, and therefore lighter and sportier - its dimensions: length 4210 mm, width 1680 mm, height 1435 mm;

— the heavier sedan has dimensions: length 4400 mm, width 1680 mm, height 1420 mm;

— a squat and solid station wagon meets the following parameters: length 4340 mm, width 1680 mm, height 1508 mm;

— the handsome Coupe, fast and dynamic, has dimensions: length 4243 mm, width 1680 mm, height 1435 mm.

The overall dimensions of the Lada Priora are gently combined with the style of its body. This is emphasized by geometric lines, an elegantly designed radiator grille, and elegant headlights, both rear and front. Adding uniqueness are the open front and rear wheel arches, which are pulled up to the wheel arch by the rear bumper. This combination makes the car elevated and attracts attention.

In addition, the overall dimensions of the Priora can confidently be compared with excellent aerodynamics. When driving at high speeds, the car provides a balance of lifting and downforce on the front and rear axles, and the air resistance coefficient in the sedan body is 0.34, which corresponds to the level of the world's best analogues.

During crash tests, the Lada Priora, whose overall dimensions are quite small in comparison with cars in its price segment, showed itself in the best possible way: it meets the latest European requirements for side and frontal impacts. Absolute safety is ensured with seat belts for each passenger, an airbag for the driver, and in the “luxury” configuration also for the front passenger.

Also in the Priora, the side pillars and floor sills were improved, and steel door safety bars were installed. Special damping inserts are built into the door trim, which provide increased safety in the event of a side impact.

In the event of a possible collision at low speeds, the safety of the front passenger is increased thanks to the soft pad on the instrument panel.

Specifications

Below we will talk about each element of the Lada Priora separately, namely, we will consider separately the body, engine, trunk, etc.

Body

Priora was produced in several bodies. In 2007, only a sedan appeared; later, in 2008, the first hatchback and station wagon rolled off the assembly line.

Sedan 2170

This body turned out to be very nice and most popular among young people. Young people started buying Priora and subjecting it to various tunings. It became a kind of youth movement.

Station wagon 2171

This type of body is an excellent solution for family people. The station wagon is equipped with a huge trunk.

Hatchback 2172

The hatchback does not differ from the sedan in technical characteristics and the front part of the body, but is shorter by several centimeters, which is noticeable to the naked eye.

Engine

Several types of engines with different power and number of valves were installed on the Lada. The table below shows all installed engines and their characteristics.

Gear box

Priora was equipped with several gearboxes depending on the configuration and year of manufacture of the car. All gearboxes are 5-speed

Gearbox with rocker

This gearbox was installed on cars from 2007 to 2013. It is a fairly reliable and unpretentious gearbox, its main “soreness” is the weak second gear, which begins to fly out over time.

Cable gearbox

Installed on cars since 2014. Received a large number of positive reviews, the position of the gears, namely the reverse gear, has changed. The vibrations transmitted to the cabin from the gearbox have been reduced.

Robotic gearbox

In 2014, luxury car models began to be equipped with a robotic gearbox. It is very reliable and unpretentious, but noticeably loses in dynamics compared to a manual transmission.

Other characteristics

Versions of the Priora station wagon

For the Lada Priora station wagon, three configuration options are possible:

1. “Standard” is the cheapest (not produced since 2014).
2. “Norma”, which includes an airbag for the driver, a brake system with a vacuum booster, front disc brakes, power steering, inertia seat belts, an anti-theft alarm, running lights for daylight hours, a fabric interior, and electric heated exterior mirrors.
3. The “Lada Priora” station wagon “Lux” is distinguished by the fact that it has airbags for passenger seats in the first row, a rain sensor, electric windows in the rear doors, and alloy wheels. The interior finishing material is Alcantara (artificial suede). The front seats can be adjusted. In some cases, the Lada Priora Lux station wagon is equipped with parking sensors and a navigator.

In 2013, the car was restyled. Externally, the 2013 station wagon and the 2014 station wagon differ little. The new version features an updated radiator grille, side collars on the side mirrors, the front and rear bumpers have changed, and LEDs have been installed in the headlights.

The interior of the 2013 Priora station wagon has undergone major changes. It was modernized with the participation of the Italian design studio Carcerano. The car is now equipped with a three-spoke steering wheel, and a color monitor is installed in the center console to control the stereo system and display navigator information. In older trim levels, the front row seats are equipped with additional airbags and adjustable heating.

How much does Lada Priora weigh?

The weight of the car before restyling in 2013 was as follows:

• The 3-door hatchback coupe, 5-door hatchback and sedan have a curb weight (which includes the weight of a full tank of fuel and the driver) of 1088 kg. In this case, the total weight (i.e., the maximum permissible weight of the vehicle at which it can be operated after being fully loaded) is 1578 kg;
• The station wagon, with the same curb weight, is able to take a little more cargo, and its total weight reaches 1593 kg.

Thus, the station wagon is the most load-carrying of all Priora body types.

Cargo capacity

Cargo capacity (not payload!) of the Prior varies depending on the body type. So, trunks have different volumes:

• 360 liters – for hatchback and coupe;
• 430 liters - for the sedan;
• 444 liters - for the station wagon.

As we can see, this volume is not very different from the sedan’s, so it’s a very stretch to say that the Priora station wagon was created to solve a wide range of economic problems (relative to other variants of this car). Of course, cargo capacity increases significantly if you fold the back of the rear sofa, or even better, remove the entire rear seat.

Dimensions of VAZ 2170 and other modifications of Priora

The dimensions of the car are something that needs to be taken into account when purchasing, since the dimensions of parking spaces, garages, turns or entrance arches are not always universal. The height is measured from the extreme point of the front to the extreme point of the rear bumper. The width is measured at the widest point, and the height is measured from the surface of the ground to the highest point of the roof. Roof rails and racks do not fit into the height of the body. Taking this into account, the dimensions of the Priora are as follows:

• The longest body of cars in this family is the sedan. It measures 4350 mm in length. But at the same time it is the lowest - 1420 mm. in height.
• The next longest is the station wagon, with its 4340 mm length. It is the highest in height – 1508 mm.
• The five-door hatchback and three-door coupe are the shortest - 4210 mm. at 1435 mm. in height.

In all four cases, the width of the Priora is the same - 1680 mm. Ground clearance is 165 mm, although in the Priora Sport configuration it is somewhat reduced, but this is no longer so important, since this car is no longer produced in this version.

Vehicle body and layout

Body type VAZ 2171 is a five-seater, five-door station wagon. The fifth door is solid and opens upward. The overall dimensions of the Lada Priora station wagon (body length, width and height) are 4210, 1680 and 1420 mm, respectively. The height is indicated taking into account the roof rails, which are not removable. For the Lada Priora station wagon, 10 body color options are offered: from black and dark red to white and silver. The "Lada Priora" station wagon in "Snow Queen" color is most suitable for southern regions, since it heats up less from the sun. In summer, cars of this color will not be so hot.

The vehicle's wheelbase (the distance between the front and rear axles) is 2492 mm. The front track is 1410 mm, the rear is slightly larger, its size is 1380 mm. Ground clearance (or ground clearance) is 170 mm. The trunk of the Priora station wagon has a volume of 444 cubic dm, and with the rear row seats folded, the volume will increase to 777 cubic dm, but the seats do not fold flat. Lada Priora 2171 has a front-wheel drive layout with a front transverse engine. The wheel arrangement is 4×2 (the car has 4 wheels, 2 of which are driving).
